This places an enormous responsibility to achieve equitable deployment of ICT on governments, education systems, and communities.

The purpose of this study was to examine student discussions and the evidence of musical listening as part of a cooperative learning experience featuring musical maps involving undergraduate music appreciation students. The research questions in this study addressed what students discuss in a cooperative learning session, their personal experiences with the project, and what the musical maps revealed about students’ listening comprehension of a complex piece of art music. A qualitative analysis of the musical maps allowed focus on individual approaches to the musical maps. Data collection involved video recordings and transcripts of two cooperative learning sessions, field notes, interview transcripts, musical maps, and the verbal and written descriptions of the musical maps. Six students enrolled in a music appreciation class participated in the study and discussed a map created by the researcher of the exposition of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, then created a musical map of the exposition of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. The students returned with their musical maps and participated in another cooperative learning session. The students participated in individual interviews to discuss their personal experiences with the cooperative learning sessions and the creation of the musical map. An approach to analysis borrowed from phenomenological psychology revealed six themes from the cooperative learning sessions: group ynamics, role management, musical discovery, use of listening materials, use of conversation for problem solving, and musical vocabulary. Analysis of the musical maps and descriptions revealed the students’ musical sense of the piece as well as their ability to listen musically beyond what they could articulate.
